Definitions
- the present invention relates to a new process for the manufacture of esters of monocarboxylic acids from vegetable or animal oils.
- the reaction which is aimed primarily is a transesterification carried out according to Scheme I below and optionally a combined esterification and transesterification reaction, the esterification being carried out according to Scheme II below.
- the fatty acid chains are represented by oleic type chains.
- Fatty esters are currently used in many applications as diesel fuels, domestic fuels, solvents, basic compounds for manufacture of sulfonates of fatty alcohols, amides, ester dimers, etc.
- catalysts commonly used are simple alkaline derivatives, such as sodium alcoholates, sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide, under fairly soft (temperature of 50 to 80 ° C and atmospheric pressure), as can be read in many patents or publications, for example in JAOCS 61 , 343-348 (1984), however, a product can not be produced. pure usable as a fuel and glycerin standards that after many steps.
- alkaline catalysts we find, also in the glycerine than in the ester, these alkaline compounds, which must be removed by washing and / or by neutralization in the ester fraction and then drying it. In the glycerin phase, it is necessary to neutralize the soaps and the alcoholates present, sometimes to eliminate the formed salts.
- the glycerin thus obtained contains water generally between 5% and 40% by weight. mass. It also contains the salts resulting from the neutralization of the alkaline catalyst, by example of sodium chloride when the catalyst is soda or methylate of sodium and when the neutralization is carried out with hydrochloric acid.
- the salt concentration in glycerin resulting from these processes is generally understood between 3% and 6% by weight. Obtaining high purity glycerol from glycerine resulting from these processes therefore imposes purification steps such as distillation under reduced pressure that can sometimes be associated with treatments on exchange resins.
- the transesterification catalyst which converts oil and methanol into a methyl ester, is an alumina or a mixture of alumina and alumina. ferrous oxide.
- US Pat. No. 5,908,946 describes a method that can work. continuously or batchwise and using solid and insoluble catalysts.
- the catalysts used are either zinc oxide or a mixture of zinc oxide and of alumina, a zinc aluminate.
- All the catalysts under consideration are in the form of powder, beads, extrudates or pellets.
- the use of alumina has two favorable effects.
- the first is to increase its specific surface area titanium in its main crystalline forms (anatase or rutile) and zirconia under its main crystalline forms (quadratic, monoclinic and cubic) are known to have small specific surfaces.
- the second is to create a much more stable compound, especially vis-à-vis conditions under which the titanium, zirconium or antimony tend to form titanium, zirconium or antimony soaps.
- catalysts based on titanium, zirconium or antimony are their ability to catalyze the transesterification of the oil with alcohols heavier than the methanol.
- solid catalysts catalyze the reactions of transesterification and esterification according to a heterogeneous catalysis process, ie that the solid catalyst used on the one hand is not consumed in the reaction and on the other part is never dissolved in the reaction medium but remains in the solid form and will be therefore separated from the liquid reaction medium without loss of catalyst and without pollution of the reaction medium by the presence of catalyst or catalyst residue.
- This kind of catalyst is compatible with use in a continuous industrial process by example in fixed bed in which the catalyst charge can be used during a very long life without loss of activity.
- the ester and glycerol obtained do not contain impurities from the catalyst. Therefore, no purification treatment will be applied to remove the catalyst or residues thereof, unlike processes using working catalysts according to a homogeneous process where the catalyst or its residues are, after reaction, localized in the same phase as the ester and / or that glycerin.
- the final purification is reduced to a minimum, while by allowing to obtain an ester which is to the specifications fuel, and a glycerin of purity between 95% and 99.9% and preferably between 98% and 99.9%.
- cooking oils various animal oils, such as fish oils, tallow, lard, rendering and even fats.
- oils used it is still possible to indicate oils partially modified for example by polymerization or oligomerization, such as, for example, "standolies" of linseed oils, sunflower and blown vegetable oils.
- the nature of the alcohol involved in the process of the invention plays a role important in the activity of transesterification.
- various aliphatic monoalcohols containing, for example, from 1 to 18 carbon atoms carbon, preferably from 1 to 12 carbon atoms.
- the most active is methyl alcohol.
- ethyl alcohol and isopropyl, propyl and butyl alcohols isobutyl and even amyl can be engaged.
- We can also use heavier alcohols such as ethyl hexyl alcohol or lauric alcohol.
- the ethyl ester it is possible to use from 1 to 50%, preferably from 1 to 10% of methyl alcohol so as to increase the conversion.
- US-A-5 169 822 teaches deposition in a non-aqueous medium of titanium alkoxides on inorganic carriers (among others).
- the article by S. Kumar et al. in Mat. Lett. 43 (2000) 286 teaches the precipitation of a boehmite sol with a titanium dioxide sol.
- the titanium sol is prepared by stabilization with acetic acid.
- a preferred method is the precipitation of ZrO (NO 3 ) 2 by hydrazine, with or without Al (NO 3 ) 3 (e.g., the method cited by Ciuparu et al., J. Mater Sci. 19 (2000) 931).
- the sources of zirconium may be gels resulting from the hydrolysis of the preceding sources, thus obtaining a form of partially hydrated zirconium oxide of chemical formula (ZrO 2 , zH 2 O) with z between 0 and 5. It It is also advantageous to use dehydrated zirconium oxide, amorphous or crystallized, which in the latter case has quadratic, monoclinic or cubic crystallographic structures known to those skilled in the art.
- the sources of antimony can be gels resulting from the hydrolysis of the preceding sources, thus obtaining a form of partially hydrated antimony oxide of chemical formula (SbO y , zH 2 O) with between 1.2 and 2,6 and z between 0 and 5. It is also advantageous to use oxides of antimony (Sb 2 O 3 , Sb 2 O 4 , Sb 2 O 5 ) more or less dehydrated, amorphous or crystallized, which has in this case crystallographic structures known to those skilled in the art.
- the inorganic aluminum salts can also be advantageously used, namely chlorides, nitrates, sulphates, etc.
- the aluminum source may be basic, in which case the aluminum is in aluminate form (AlO 2 - ).
- the counterion may be an alkaline (Li, Na, K, Cs) and more generally any positive counterion (NH 4 + for example).
- any alumina compound of the general formula Al 2 O 3 , nH 2 O may be used. Its specific surface is between 100 and 600 m 2 / g.
- hydrated alumina compounds such as: hydrargillite, gibbsite, bayerite, boehmite, pseudo-boehmite and amorphous or essentially amorphous aluminas are useful. It is also possible to use the dehydrated forms of these compounds which consist of transition aluminas and which comprise at least one phase taken from the group: rho, khi, eta, kappa, theta, delta, gamma and alpha, which differentiate essentially on the organization of their crystalline structure.
- titanium oxide, zirconium oxide or antimony oxide preferably 23% of titanium, zirconium or antimony and even more preferably 50% of titanium, zirconium or antimony.
- the oxides of titanium, zirconium or antimony shall be in predominantly amorphous or micro-crystalline form, remarkable in this by the absence on the ray diffraction diagram X crystalline forms, known to those skilled in the art, of titanium oxide, zirconium or antimony.
- the catalyst will generally have a specific surface area of between 10 and 500 m 2 / g, preferably between 50 and 400 m 2 / g and more preferably between 80 and 300 m 2 / g.
- the pore volume will be between 0.1 cm 3 / g and 1.2 cm 3 / g, and preferably greater than 0.2 cm 3 / g.
- the porous distribution will be between 0.001 microns and 0.1 microns.
- the transesterification is carried out in the absence of catalyst, or in an autoclave, either in a fixed bed with inert supports, such as silicon carbide, it is possible to obtain certain temperatures generally greater than or equal to 250 ° C, conversions exceed 80%, but at very low VVH and with very long residence times.
- the thermal reaction therefore exists and it is sometimes difficult to decide between the catalytic effect and the thermal effect, which explains why with simple aluminas it is possible to obtain high conversions.
- the object of the process of the invention is to obtain these Conversions with reasonable residence times, so reasonable VVH.
- the operating conditions used depend clearly on the method chosen. If a batch reaction is used, we can work in one or two stages, that is to say perform a first reaction up to 85% to 95% conversion, cool in evaporating the excess methanol, decant the glycerine and finish the reaction by warming to new and adding alcohol to achieve total conversion. We can also aim a 98% conversion by working long enough in one step.
- the introduction of the alcohol can be advantageously fractionated.
- the introduction to two levels in the tubular reactor can be operated as follows: reactor with the oil and about 2/3 of the alcohol to put into play, then introduction of Alcohol complement approximately at the top third of the catalytic bed.
- ester of the same color as the starting oil and a colorless glycerin after decantation.
- the ester can be passed on resin, earth and / or activated carbon, as well as glycerine.
- the compounds produced are analyzed either by gas chromatography for esters and glycerin, or, more rapidly, by liquid chromatography exclusion for esters. It can be seen that the process of the invention, unlike known processes carried out in homogeneous basic catalysis with monoalcohols, does not no, or very little, of sterol esters. Sterol esters, which are heavy products, can cause deposits in the injectors.
